CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS
Eidfjord
At the very end of the Hardangerfjord, Eidfjord feels like a natural amphitheatre - sheer mountains, still water, and waterfalls tumbling from impossible heights. From here, travel into the heart of Norway’s fruit-growing Hardanger region, where apple orchards bloom beneath snow-dusted peaks. Visit the dramatic Vøringsfossen waterfall, one of Norway’s most famous, or explore the Hardangervidda Nature Centre to understand the landscapes and wildlife of Europe’s largest mountain plateau. Quiet, pristine, and deeply scenic, Eidfjord is fjord Norway at its most elemental.
Bergen
Wrapped between mountains and sea, Bergen is a city of colour, culture and quiet confidence. Wander the wooden lanes of Bryggen, a UNESCO-listed wharf where Hanseatic merchants once traded, or browse the lively fish market for fresh seafood and local flavours. Ride the Fløibanen funicular for sweeping views over the harbour and surrounding islands, or explore galleries, cafés and boutiques tucked into historic streets. Elegant yet relaxed, Bergen balances maritime heritage with modern Scandinavian life.
Sandnes
Sandnes sits at the southern gateway to Norway’s fjord country, surrounded by pastoral landscapes and dramatic rock formations. From here, travel into the Boknafjord region, home to some of Norway’s most famous natural landmarks, including towering cliffs and deep-blue waters. The town itself is known for its riverside walks, small galleries and relaxed coastal atmosphere. Inland, rural valleys and lakes reveal a quieter side of Norwegian life, shaped by farming and nature. Sandnes offers a gentle, scenic introduction to the fjords ahead.
